' the already high pressure of the waste-gases not quickly enough escapeyfrom the explosion-chamber, but had to be pressed out by the returning piston with a high .expenditure of power. This counter-pressure requires always a considerable loss of power, as the capacity produced by the explosion is thereby partly neutralized, while a large quantity of unburnt fuel was consumed. I The gases ejected form, as known to any motorist, large clouds behind the motor-car and are of great nuisance for the passengers. By leading, however, the pipe m into the lead-0i? pipe 0, by the exhaust gases not only the condensed ingredients are sucked out of the ball 2' but also the pressure of the gases therein is considerably reduced and that the inore the higher becomes the pressure of'the waste gases by anexcessive strain'of the engine. In this connection, it is of particular advantage that the sucked-ofi' gases, by their being cooled, assume an essentially smaller volume than previously when escaping from the pipezywhich is particularly favorable for the suction effect. This arrangement con-1 trols therefore automatically the suckin '-ofli of the exhaust gases and the pressure 0 the same and efi'ects, as proved by repeated exfiperiments with .mOtOX'fCaIS, a considerable see I 1 tie ly easier way.

By the gases-meeting the water level in the container e, allnon-gasified particles therein are kept back by the Water, while avoiding the drawbacks hitherto connected with such devices. The'latter consist of the fact that,

the latter, so that it was finally so much reduced that the pipe did not more completely dive into,the water, whereby the gases could escape in non-purified condition. The pas-' sage of-the gases through purifying matters spread on strainers had the drawback that the latter, besides ofiering a considerable revi'ce could not more operate. An emptying and renewal of the purifyin matter was,

however,'practically impossib e' if this hap' pened on the way. All these drawbacks are completely overcome by the improved arrangement, by whichalsothe escaping exhaust gases are completely silenced.

What I claim, is

In a combined'exhaust silencer, .purifier and deodorizer for.explosion-engines,. the combination of a water container, a plurality of receptacles through which the exhaust gases pass, an exhaust pipe with grate-like mouth to lead the gases into said water con tainer vertically to the water level after their passage through said receptacles, a

hollow ball having funnels with. baflle-de-"" vices to receive said gases after their/passage through the water container, a,p'ipe to communicate between the lower end of said ball and said exhaust pipe and forming a nozzle in the latter, and-a pipe to lead the gases from the ball into the atmosphere, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.
